I had a great time at McGowan’s (aka L. Woods’ Tap & Pine Lodge) for this years’ St. Patrick’s Day Festivities. Thanks again to everyone who expressed their condolences, and fond memories of our show.

Driving through Algonquin on my way to Randy Salerno’s Memorial Service, I saw a sign. The sign read “Snow Boarding”. And as the light snow that fell turned into a blizzard, I decided to take up snow boarding. Since I was the only member of my household that didn’t snow board, my epiphany was welcomed. A family getaway to Wisconsin for a couple of days on the slopes seemed like a perfect thing to do for Spring Break. But I couldn’t get the lodging I wanted for the days we planned, so instead of bindings, it was board shorts at Gurnee’s newest indoor water park. The madness of March college basketball tournament play beamed from the TV, as we ate in the beach themed restaurant. As I urged Kansas State to play better D, I remembered being at a water park around this time last year. Terry and I had traveled to Utica, IL to do our show from the water parks’ arcade. Terry was the defending champ of Steve’s annual bracket pool, and we were the CBS Channel 2 defending champs. If memory serves me correct, I was pulling for KS that day too.

I’m not in any bracket pool this year, but I’m pulling for the Tar Heels to win it all. Did I forget to mention I won Steve’s pool last year?
